If the trixters have been tweaked, it wouldn't be surprising that Nate also tweaked the other builds a bit - shadows and slayers still haven't proven to be true contenders so I suppose they're due for a boost.

Have you checked out Toros vs. Lahir twice today? Dirty tricks only lasts til the end of the round it triggers. And with ~295 bleed Lahir doesn't seem to be gaining any health towards the end of the fights.

Yeah I saw the fight. I also saw a number of fights where dirty tricks lasts 2 rounds. Dig around in the results or go run some gauntlets and conquests and you'll see them too. Sometimes it goes off at the end of a round and shows as 1 round remaining in the next round. If it were only a one round duration it wouldn't show up in the next round at all. In fight 1 Toros vs Lahir he's gaining over 400 health per round, if he used to gain more than that then perhaps when he re-geared he inadvertently lowered his health or intellect and presence which are the attributes for cheating bastard.

Good news.
If it so, Dirty Tricks now similar to other skills of the second tier. Still better than many of them. Real durability is 0-1 now (or still 0-2, as Dainoji pointed out, but with greater reliance on stat/RNG/strategy). Will still be great against speeder. Ok.
Cheating doesn't looks like the core anymore, no longer allowing a random skill/strategy selection. Ok.
In general , Trixter looks interesting for testing now.

// By the way, Dainoji was right, today Fight #5. Kourel scored Dirty Tricks for 2 rounds just at the start.

Looks like it can last either 1 or 2 rounds. I just looked fight in blood gods where same trixter used dirty tricks 11 times, 7 lasted 2 rounds and 4 lasted 1 round. Though since it seems that it can trigger every third round imo 2 round blinds are very op.
